So as I mentioned yesterday  – two 8 lbs 12 oz Lukes in two days.  Today – my second Luke.  Sara has a super special place in my heart in terms of clients because she was one of my first in my first year and continues to be one of my best.  And I mean that in terms of just being a great client.  She appreciates the art in photography.  This is the fourth time I have photographed her family.   She has a wall of photos from different sessions.  I think she has tol every person she knows about me.  She follows the biz page and leaves sweet comments and is friends with me on my personal page as well.  She has supported me from the first time we met.  I could go on and on. There are a handful of people from Philly that fit that select list and she is right at the top.  I have always counted myself lucky to have her in my (biz) life.   Plus her daughter is adorably cute and could really give Nolan a run for his money if they ever hooked up.  😉

Sara, Dave and Caroline it was great to see you guys again, I had so much fun!!!

Two years ago (roughly) I did sessions for Kristen and Sara of their newborn baby girls.  This past weekend I returned to Philadelphia to do newborn sessions for them again.  It should be stated that Sara and Kristen don’t know each other at all and live about 30 miles or so apart and in different states.  It just so happens that both Sara and Kristen gave birth a few days early to boys.  Both weighing 8 lbs and 12 oz.  And named Luke.  Yes, both of them.  Same name, same weights, almost the same birth dates.  And both photographed by me 😉

First up today is Kristen’s Luke.  Utter perfection.  I lost approximately ten pounds during this session because I had the brilliant idea (since I had left my space heater in RI) to do the session on their screened in back porch.  Where it was 93 degrees.  Luke was very happy.  Me, well, let’s just say I had a really nice much needed shower when I got back to the hotel.  He did great though, and we also snuck in some pictures of big sis who I hadn’t seen since she was eight weeks old.  What a gorgeous gorgeous family these guys have made!

First, a before and after.  On the left, big sister’s newborn session.   And on the right, this past weekend with a new baby.  I wish I had set the shot up a little differently, but I realized after I got this that I had the similar one from before.

And from this weekend
